If you are experiencing disk read errors it could resemble a crash (but is not), and may be related to intentional media errors put on some DVDs, apparently called "Sony ARccOS."

The 2.6.19 sources are the solution. I have not rebuild my own kernel, but only the intel-agp module (for this I merged the 2.6.19.1 intel-agp.c with the debian 2.6.18 sources). So I'm working now with an original debian 2.6.18 kernel + my own intel-agp module. After insmod of my new intel-agp module 'dmesg | grep agp' report my 965 chipset: Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones agpgart: Detected an Intel 965Q Chipset. agpgart: Detected 7676K stolen memory. agpgart: AGP aperture is 512M @ 0xc000 Since the 965 chipset is a very common and popular one and my solution means only adding a couple of lines of code (from a released kernel, so it should be tested and installed on some machines) I put my solution as a wish on the debian-kernel list. I didn't get any answer yet but I'm still hoping etch will support popular hardware released 6 month ago. Jörg

Can't print Japanese pdf files generated with `platex' and `dvipdfmx'
Hi,
After installing all kind of packages on my Debian edge system and
following all kind of howtos I found on the net, I am finally able
to generate and view Japanese pdf files using kpdf (I was not able
to make evince display the file and therefore installed kpdf).
But still my printer will not print anything (neither from kpdf nor
when using kprinter) and just signals an Error...
What can I do?
Printer: HP PhotoSmart 2575a All-in-One
Driver: HPLIP 1.6.10 ( http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ )
Thanks, Dietrich
Some notes:
* ~/.xpdfr
In order to make kpdf work, I installed xpdf-japanese and created
the file ~/.xpdfrc containing the line `include /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc'.
(I followed the indications on page
http://debian.fam.cx/index.php?Japanese )
In the latter file all kind of fonts are described:
...
displayFontT1 Times-Roman /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021003l.pfb
displayFontT1 Times-Italic /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/n021023l.pfb
...
Do I have to do something similar to make the printer driver know about
the necessary fonts?

echo '---'; cat neko.tex; echo '---'

By enabling Powersaving mode you can lower power consumption and CPU temperature when the CPU is idle. . Powersaving works only if your kernel supports ACPI (APM does not work), because athcool does only (un)set the "Disconnect enable when STPGNT detected" bits in the Chipset's Northbridge. To really save power, the STPGNT signal has to be sent when the CPU is idling. This is done by the ACPI subsystem when C2 state entered. . !!!WARNING!!! Depending on your motherboard and/or hardware components, enabling Athlon powersaving mode sometimes causes: . * noisy or distorted sound playback, * a slowdown in harddisk performance, * system locks or instability, * massive corruption of the filesystem (observed at least once). . If you met those problems, you should not use athcool. Please use athcool AT YOUR OWN RISK. . If athcool works fine for you, and you want it to run automatically on startup, please read the /usr/share/doc/athcool/README.Debian file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have the MB handle the fan speeds (adjusts for temperature, not for quiet) and most of the time can't hear anything but a slight directional high-pitch from the CPU fan. I just put an ampmeter on it during boot and it uses 1.2 A at 120 V so that's 100W. I note that theres a package to throttle the CPU based on load. I don't know if this reduces the power consumption for what you're looking for. It may primarily just reduce the CPU temperature (although mine hovers at around 40 C).

It will be a bit radical, no ? If it's here, it's perhaps usefull !
These database files contains Apple informations (metadata), which can't be
handeled by the filesystem itself.
A sort of ressource file but with other informations. I don't know exactlty...
The documentation explains the role of CNID, I don't remember clearly now.

That's true, some DVD players are very, very picky when it comes to media support.

But keep in mind that this is a very CPU heavy process and doing this on a 300MHz machine won't be any fun. (The same goes for re-encoding DVD to fit on single layer media). Here are a few choices, thoggen (very easy to use, rips to Ogg Theora), acidrip (GUI for MPlayer and MEncoder), using mencoder from the commandline (be prepared to read the man page), using transcode (once again, see the man page). -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I don't see how a 6.9 GB data stream (movie, whatever) can fit on a 4.7 GB media. What type of media is it that someone else has created that can be read on your DVD player?

You might try your DVD on another player. If that's the problem, however, I am not able to help. I'm not even sure how to identify a region lovk issue. Maybe someone else on this list can help. At least you might be able to use a web search check up on your player to see if it's region locked. HOW DO I DO THIS WITH DEBIAN?!?!?!?!?!?!??! One thing to keep in mind is that Debian tends to lag behind in multimedia for a number of (good) reasons. Some of these tools may not even be considered "official" Debian programs for legal reasons. I know this wanders off the topic of this list, but if you can't solve your problem with Debian, you might want to wait for the next release (always RSN), try a spinoff like Ubuntu or a different distro entirely, or else try Etch if you are inclined to experiment. ==>>Also - how can I 'rip' a DVD into an mpeg or avi file?<<== AFAIK the DVD already comes in MPEG(-2) format, so no conversion is necessary, but you do have to "un-demux" the audio and video files to recombine them into a single file. There are various tools in Debian that do this, but I am not familiar with them. Some of the packaging front ends with search features, like xara, will give you an idea of what's available.

how to copy and/or rip DVDs with Debian?
Hi everybody, First happy new year to all! Second - please bear with me, I am a DVD-issue newbie & ignoramous, but I need some help. I am DESPERATELY trying to copy encrypted commercial DVDs but nothing works. Programs such as k9copy or k3b get cold feet with encrypted DVD so I decided to use the very good and simple CLI tools dvdbackup and growisofs. This is what I did: First I make an image of the source DVD with: dvdbackup -i /media/hdc/ -M -o /home/vees/DVDBackups/ -n NameOfTheBackupedDVD And that works great. Then I tried burning the image to a DVD+RW with: growisofs -Z /dev/scd1 -dvd-video /home/vees/DVDBackups/NameOfTheBackupedDVD/ This worked great too, as long as I copied small DVDs, less than the 4.7GB of a typical DVD+RW. When I tried with a bigger DVD, the first part worked, but the burning did not. Here is the error message I got: :-( /dev/scd1: 2295104 blocks are free, 3589847 to be written! I tried overburning with the -overburn flag, but each time I got the same input/output error several times.

grub doesn't worj on my primary drive...
Dear Debianists, I installed Etch on my old Gateway 2000 PC. The slave drive is 13GB in size and Etch is parked on it. The primary drive is a smaller 1GB drive with Windows 98 on it. At the end of the installation I selected the option to put GRUB on the master disk as I remember it. It didn't work properly because on booting I get an error from GRUB GRUB 1,5 Grub fails (or something like that) Error 18 I can't fire up Windows or Debian. The BIOS sees both drives OK. Smart boot manager can boot up Windows but it can't boot the Linux up. If I use a rescue floppy etc what do I do with it? I have never been able to do anything useful with rescue mode. How would I use it to put GRUB on the slave disk (if that is a good idea) or make a boot floppy with GRUB on it that overrides looking on the primary disk and boots Debian for me? Web pages on rescue mode use would be useful. Suggestions welcome.

You are referring to hardware? Hugo My current motherboard is an Albatron KX400-8XV. Of course I would replace it as well if need be. I also have this board, and you could extend its life a little (as I did) using a Slot-A Sempron, but these are getting harder to find, and the boost in speed might not justify the expense. It may be easier to justify if you also upgrade the RAM as I recomend below, since it will allow better utilization of faster DDR SDRAM. For the record, the rest of the system is Memory: 256 M 256M seems inadequate to me. I agree with Roberto that 1G would be better. I would be afraid of swapping limiting the number of apps you could run while processing the video. I recommend at least 1G of DDR SDRAM, which KX400 fully supports, but may not fully utilized by the 1800+. I don't know if it supports DDR2, but I would try it to help ensure that the RAM could be used in a future motherboard upgrade.

This creates a "virtual LAN" within the host server wherein the IP functionality of a physical LAN is duplicated, and possibly DNS functionality as well. In doing so, it *may* override some of the networking settings of the individual virtual servers, but that's just a guess.

Hi (Originally CUPS - software cant find) This is a re-issue of the same problem. I had no takers on the first round and am still having serious problems. I have tried everything in the debian mini HOWTO to no avail. I have a 3 computer, plus linksys switch, home network. Two of the computers run Win2K and one uses Debian Linux (kernel 2.6.18 and Etch). One of the Win2K systems is acting as my print server. I use Samba on the Debian box to tie everything together. The network works fine. The CUPS installation on the Debian box prints test pages to the Win2k based HP 940C fine. Not one single piece of application software on the Debian box can find CUPS. http://localhost:631 works fine. Gimp cant find CUPS Openoffice cant find CUPS Iceape web browser cant find CUPS Gnome CUPS Manager cant find CUPS Some of these comeback with an error message and some just print to never never land. lpstat and such commands return an "unable to connect to server" error. ps xaf indicates that Cupsd is running. I've found a confusing assortment of answers on the web for other versions of Linux, none of which seem to apply to my problem, but no fix. Any one got an idea. Help!!!

However, it's been a while since I've had any build errors, and even then, if you really want to, you can find another SVN revision that builds. b) Unfortunately, the way Beryl's build process is set up, it must, for example, install beryl-core before it can build beryl-plugins. This is what leads to drawback A above (maybe I have these in the wrong order). Again, build errors seem to getting more rare, and Beryl and Emerald seem quite stable, so I recommend you give the SVN version a try. Please cc my email if you want me to see any replies.

Hi all,
I am an Ubuntu (Debian's kid) lover who has decided recently to port
some of my work on Debian. I have downloaded minimal CD of Debian's
latest version. Everything seems to go fine, but when the installation
is done, the X-Server can be run and the OS just stays in text mode
without GUI. There is also a log file which has been created after
several attempts to run X-Server but it is messy enough. Can anybody
help? Also, I feel very unconformable with KDE while I love GNOME, but
the Debian installer didn't ask me anywhere if I want GNOME or KDE. I
saw also that it has downloaded packages from both KDE and GNOME. How
can I specifically chose GNOME as windows handler?

AFAIR the installer uses Tasksel to install a desktop system including X
and Gnome. You may have failed to choose the "desktop" task during
installation. You can run it manually from the command line by switching
user ("su") to root and running "tasksel". Make sure that the "Desktop"
task is selected once you are in the ncurses interface with the blue screen.

Because /proc/swaps doesn't show the memory page size.
Oh, I was thinking of the "pagefile size" in Windows, which means (at
least I thought it did) the amount of virtual memory in use. I see
now in the getpagesize man page that this rather is something to do
with how files are stored in memory. I learn more all the time!

By comprehensive, I mean I want to know all relevant things that need to be considered. For example for dd, let alone its rigid limitation, if you use it, at least the 'conv=sync,noerror bs=4k' options should be used: sync,noerror just means continue and zero fill any error blocks, bs=4k just writes 4k at a time which will speed things up a lot. For cp, at least 'cp -ax' should be used. But there are still much more to it. First, directories that don't need to copy over, like /tmp, /proc. With modern Linux that uses udev, the /dev and /sys don't need to be copied either. Anything else (besides distro specifics like /var/cache/apt/archives)? 2nd, the clone partition should be made bootable, by grub or lilo. Anything else? Like the concerns of /etc/fstab...

The only drawbacks to this are: a) if the build fails at some point but has already installed some packages it built successfully, you could end up with mismatched versions of Beryl's different packages. I usually keep a copy of the last build that I've observed to be stable so I can revert to it if necessary. However, it's been a while since I've had any build errors, and even then, if you really want to, you can find another SVN revision that builds. b) Unfortunately, the way Beryl's build process is set up, it must, for example, install beryl-core before it can build beryl-plugins. This is what leads to drawback A above (maybe I have these in the wrong order). Again, build errors seem to getting more rare, and Beryl and Emerald seem quite stable, so I recommend you give the SVN version a try. Please cc my email if you want me to see any replies.

Christian Marillat replied with a URL for the unstable (sid) list, as below. http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages You just need to change "unstable" in the URL to "sarge" for example. http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages btw.

This is obviously a gnome-terminal bug. gnome-terminal is not parsing escape sequences correctly. Maybe this is related to the bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=369867 In this report, the xterm author points out some defects of gnome-terminal and compares it with konsole. -- -- Jhair -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This way you save screen real estate, you don't have to worry about careful placement and the startup time is faster than starting up 4 separate Konsoles. You can add this one to the above list.

Because /proc/swaps doesn't show the memory page size.
